10/11/2019 0 Comments Progress Post 2 (in-class)The following are some reference pictures as well as progress pictures from my in class project. After asking around, everyone seems to instantly recognize the cells and tissue so I figured I need to reference a city/landscape topographical image to make my painting more realistic. Overall, I really like the scale (4'x4') of the wood panel, but I realize that it is and will take much longer than I expected. I hope to have the base light molding medium layer done by the end of next week and decided to make the whole painting more interesting and more like a map by carving into the panel as well. Since the panel is so heavy and is relatively thick, I think carving in will help balance the piece. Also, I have not started with any colors yet, although I primed with a color I thought was closer to white. Regardless, I will be painting over the molding medium and between the molding medium with other colors to add depth. I have not decided whether I want to do colors yet and whether I will do tissue-like, city-like or black and white. Coach also brought up an interesting angle I hadn't thought of regarding the concept of "muscle cars". Although this project was meant to steer away from --haha-- the running car theme, I think that will be a nice complementary piece that will probably happen towards the middle of the year.
